OMS cl350 : 02

I have fixed the exhaust, put a new battery in it and cleaned the carbs got it running
pretty sweet now.
I also put the stock fenders back on it front one had to raise a little cause of the tire sizes.
The rear one came with a Lucas style tail light and a stock style tail light.
I picked the Lucas style after careful consideration..lol it's a smaller light that looks way
better than stock in my opinion.
Now I got the fenders on and tail light working I can got register it and be legal like on the
roads and such.
Time to get rid of this seat and get a stock seat and possibly put the scrambler bars on.
I'm liking the ones on it now damn decisions.
That's it for now.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!!

OMS Ironhead Thumper : 03

This project has been sitting for a month or so. I figured it was time to move forward and get the rear wheel mocked up and on the bike. That one sentence took a week of after work free time to get completed. First of all the wheel that we had acquired with the project is a later disc brake wheel. In 1975 the Sportster came with a Drum brake rear wheel. I thought to myself “No big deal we have a caliper and a master cylinder to use for this.” So I went to bolt the whole assembly up and what I realized is the later disc brake wheels use 3/4” Id bearings and the original drum brake set up used 5/8 ID bearings. All the original hardware was useless as is. What to do? I found a 3/4” diameter axle and nut in a box of parts but it was 2-1/2” too long. I cut the head off the original axle and drilled a 1/2” diameter hole through the center of the head and cut the 2-1/2” inches off and turned a 1/2” post on the axle then proceeded to weld the head back on. Next on the hit list was the axle adjusters needed to be opened up to 3/4” also. I went back to the lathe with a boring bar to make short work of this task. The 3/4” axle needs to ride in a 7/8” slot in the swing arm so 2 spacers with 7/8” flats were made to center the axle in the slots in the swingarm. The last piece of this puzzle was a 3/4 long straight spacer. I found a chrome one in a box from a previous build. All of our work bolted right up and lined up the wheel and sprocket like it was meant to be there. Next on the list is to fabricate an anchor for the brake caliper to the swingarm.









We mocked up and installed the fuel tank. The tank it is one of the few new parts of this build so far. With the tank bolted on the coil and bracket was located and installed as well as the front and rear head with the rocker boxes. This is all temporary until we get the body fab work completed then the motor will come out for the cylinder modifications.

Just a quick reminder to get out there and find a cheap bike for June. It really is the most fun per dollar you can squeeze out of a motorcycle ride. Period. The Ozark Mountains provide some of the best riding in the country, and that's putting it lightly. This isn't a show. There won't be any trophy's. Just good old fashioned fun. Wanna know more?

OMS cl350 : 01

Hi, my name is Dean and my good friend Tim turned me on to this adventure and got me interested to go.
So I picked up this 1972 CL350 Scrambler locally for 800.00 and so far bought a 60.00 battery.
I will be attending the Scramble with this bike.
I have to clean the carbs and change the oil as the bike has been sitting for quite a spell.
The bike did come with the original front and rear fenders and taillight and some misc. parts.
I also have a 1970 sl350 but that bike is seized and I wont be bringing it to the scramble
but I might need some parts of it to stay within budget.
I will have some better pics shortly as I put the fenders and taillight back on and other things
I am doing to the bike to get it ready......
